THE MADISON SQUARE FESTIVAL.

There was great and brilliant audience In the Madison

Tooth consecutive performance OF jim the Penmans
The theatre, always handsome, was made more charm

ton OF night Of this kind usually fades away The

as remarkable for the sustained vgor intense yet per-
fectly controlled feeling and sparkling executive skin
with which the performance OF fine play was
carried through to superb completion; aud
likewise for the accord OF absolute sympathy exstant
between the actors and the audience

By tho second of these acts the Board OF

the measures now at Albany looking to this end
would better be abandoned. The Legislature

BEATING BRIT1IN IN IRON

For the first time this country surpasses Great
Britain and every other country in tho world
in tho consumption Of iron and IN the produc-
ton OF steel of all kinds. In the making OF
Bcssemer steel it has several times surpassed
Great Britain. but the Bulletin Of the Iron
and Steel Association now aflirms that al
though we could never until now say that our
aggregate production of steel exceeded that OF
Great Britain in any year." that point was
reached in 1886. A still more remarkable
achievement is the development OF manufact-
nres which in 1886 consumed more pig iron
than the manufactures of Great Britain. The
following figures Of British production and IN
crease of stocks are taken from "Thc Iron
Age" and 1t appears likely that the estimate OF
increase of stocks in 1856 may prove too small
because British advices Of January 10 snow
that the increase in Scotland was 1886 TONS
and in the Cleveland district 134,9oI tons.

Much interesting testimony was given yester-
day by representatives of the capital interested
In the coal business, before the Assembly COM
mittee now investigating the strikes. 1t was
incidentally disclosed that most of the large
retail dealers in New-York have been getting
higher prices for their coal ever since the pres
ent trouble began than the situation justified.
That is a matter. of course. for the consumers
to settle. If they can stand it, all right. But
1t proves that the price of coal is no indication
OF the progress of the strike The most impor
tant point made by Mr.. Corbin and Mr.. Potts.
both expert coal men, was that the only way to
settle differences between corporation employ
ers and their employees is enforced arbitration.
The difficulties of such a solution they did not
deny, but they could suggest no other. On no
account would Mr. Corbin allow the inteifer
ence of outside committees. This is sad blow
at the Walking Delegate.
